Joe Scarborough's 10 best lines

A new book from “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough lays out both a blistering critique of the current Republican Party and a vision for a return to GOP dominance. In “The Right Path: From Ike to Reagan, How Republicans Once Mastered Politics — and Can Again,” Scarborough, a former Florida congressman and POLITICO guest columnist, uses Republican success stories to argue for pragmatism and moderation that will lead to electoral success over no-compromise blind ideology. Here is POLITICO’s roundup of some of Scarborough's best lines:

“We Republicans have been at our best when we are true to one of the deepest insights of conservatism: that politics, like mankind itself, isn’t perfectible in a fallen universe. And if we continue to let the perfect become the enemy of the good, then we will continue to dwindle in influence.”
